Jemaah Islamiah bomb expert Dr Azahari Husin has been fingered as the mastermind of the bombing of the JW Marriott Hotel in Jakarta which left 11 dead and 149 injured. Security agencies in Southeast Asia are also blaming the former Universiti Teknologi Malaysia lecturer for other bombing campaigns. WONG CHUN WAI and LOURDES CHARLES spoke to intelligence sources to put up the profile of this dangerous terrorist. 

DR AZAHARI HUSIN is easily the most wanted man in the region today and in terms of notoriety he has overshadowed other Jemaah Islamiah fugitives such as Hambal alias Riduan Isamuddin, the point man for al-Qaeda in Southeast Asia.
